| Short description
The underlying knowledge and mechanisms that enable language acquisition are hidden inside the mind of the child, and researchers depend on an array of tools to better understand children's language skills and knowledge at different levels of development. Research Methods in Child Language: A Practical Guide presents the diverse methods researchers utilize to study child language, providing clear explanations of the procedures used and the information that these methods yield. Presenting new research methods and expanding on more traditional methods, this is an essential tool for all in the field of child language.
